Seven hundred and three It's a bunch of islands that must be occupied

Suitable? Does this need to be asked? It's so suitable!

Liu Renliang has always been a man of action, he hates procrastination the most, he has super ability to act, he doesn't need to look at the map to know that this is an island that must be occupied, this is an archipelago, a group of islands, Su Hou Ye named it Ryukyu, but he never knew what it meant, at that time, it seemed on the map, this island was connected to the Wa Kingdom in the north, and the south was connected to the Liuqiu......

Ryukyu and Liuqiu read the same, he didn't know what Suning's idea was, in fact, Suning was planning to change the island of Taiwan, which is now called Liuqiu, back to its original name, but it would take a little time and operation, and it would not be too late to come back after the official establishment of administrative divisions here.

However, the strategic value of this archipelago is obviously self-evident, not only to become a springboard, but also like a protective belt, as long as it controls here, it can protect the southeast coast from being violated by any maritime forces, connecting the northern and southern ends together, it is a protective belt, protecting the inland from attack, and it can also make the East China Sea an inland lake of Datang, in which Datang's ships can travel without restriction without worrying about being attacked by any foreign forces.

This is equivalent to providing Datang with a safe place to catch seafood, which can increase a lot of income for coastal fishermen and let the inland people have more food, which is a good thing, whether it is for the Tang court or the people, it is a good thing, there is no doubt that both strategic value and economic value are of great significance.

Liu Renliang agreed very sensibly: "Xiaguan agrees with the meaning of His Majesty, whether it is strategic value or other values here, it is very high. If this place is occupied, the entire marine area here can be protected, and the fishermen of Datang can go out to sea to catch seafood, catch marine fish, increase their income, improve their lives, and the people of Datang can also have a lot of food, and the tax revenue of the imperial court can also increase.

Moreover, if the navy is stationed here, it will be more convenient to protect the entire southeastern coastal territory from interference by any foreign forces, and it will be possible to protect the territory and the people. It's a perfect fit. The actions of the navy and the increase in strength, and the expansion of the territory of Datang, is a good thing in every way. ”

Zhang Liang nodded approvingly: "Deputy Manager Liu's words." I agree with that. It's just that one thing is still under consideration. That is, the islands here can be inhabited by people? Deputy Manager Liu has been here for many days. Are there any traces of the population found? ”

Liu Renliang was stunned, he really didn't find anyone here, after going to the island, the whole island was inspected, and every time an island was occupied and developed, no human beings were found, at first Liu Renliang still hoped to find people, which means that there can be survival here, but he didn't find it, there doesn't seem to be any human population here, which made Liu Renliang feel disappointed, but after looking at the chart, Liu Renliang said: "There are no traces of human habitation found in the seven islands occupied by Xiaguan, but depending on the situation, this is the southernmost island, If you go further north, you might be able to come across other inhabited islands! ”

Zhang Liang showed a thoughtful look, and then nodded slightly: "This is not unreasonable, but if there is really someone, who will it be?" Where did it come from? Or is it inhabited in the first place? Say what? Can you accept the rule of the Tang Dynasty? What should we do with them? It's not very good to open the killing ring, but it's not good......"

Liu Renliang pondered: "It's better to send all these seafarers back to Datang, and then gather the power of the navy to search all the islands in this entire area, if you can't find anyone, it's best, these islands are borderless, then occupy it, move some people to live, and make this place a material supply site, if it is inhabited, then think again, first figure out who they are, when they start to live." ”

Zhang Liang nodded approvingly: "That's good, but now there is another problem, if a material supply site is set up here, it needs to be able to grow crops or raise some livestock, so that the physical objects here have to be transported from Datang, then the supply effect here is much smaller, although it is okay to catch some sea creatures, but you always have to eat some food!" ”

At the mention of the word food, Liu Renliang's eyes suddenly lit up: "General Zhang, there are mountains, rivers and trees here, which proves that the land here can grow crops, the previous days of the day Xiaguan once reclaimed a piece of land in the island and planted some potatoes here, the climate here is relatively warm, Xiaguan plans to try to see if crops can be planted here, whether it can be planted according to the agricultural time, I haven't taken care of the situation, why don't we take a look at the situation together?" ”

Zhang Liang was also a bright eye: "Potatoes are a good thing, the yield is extremely high, and it can be considered a kind of food, if potatoes can be planted on a large scale here, there is no need to worry that there is no way to become a supply site here, this is a good idea, come on, Deputy Director Liu, let's take a look together!" ”

The two of them went to the planting area with great interest to watch the growth of potatoes, and when they got there, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, the potatoes have grown seedlings, which means that crops can be planted here, and it can become a self-sufficient area.

Zhang Liang was very happy, Liu Renliang was also ecstatic, and immediately went back to his cabin to write a recital to the emperor, Zhang Liang followed, asking for a delicious seafood meal, the actual idea, Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know.

Zhang Liang took Zhang Liang as the first signatory, and Liu Renliang himself was second, Zhang Liang said that Liu Renliang is a good comrade who is humble and has a great future.

A sumptuous seafood meal was delivered to Zhang Liang's eyes, and Zhang Liang was dazzled: "Oh, Brother Liu, are you suffering here and there?" This is obviously a blessing, such a good food, I've never seen it before, huh! Delicious and delicious. Oops, it's delicious! Hahaha, it's really right to be this naval chief, haha, it's on the beach, you can eat as much seafood as you want, hahaha! ”

Liu Renliang also smiled in agreement while eating slowly, this thing felt fresh and delicious at first, but after eating too much, it was like that. And if you don't eat or eat, you will feel like throwing up if you eat this thing all the time. This thing is not something that can be eaten as food, but these dignitaries just like to taste fresh, and let Ming'er let Su Hou Ye's Taste Xianju catch up with the trend, and let these big men have some blood!

I was extremely satisfied with the meal. Zhang Liang began to discuss with Liu Renliang the list of people who were transported back and those who stayed here. The seafarers here are definitely going back. It's all dragged with their families, everyone wants to go home, and it's unlikely to stay. Therefore, only a few ships can be left, some naval soldiers and corresponding provisions, let them guard this place, hold these seven islands that have been developed, and continue to develop.

The remaining islands will be discussed after the resolution of the imperial court is down, anyway, according to the temperament of Li Er's majesty and the promotion of the powerful forces in the DPRK and China advocating pioneering and enterprising, the establishment of prefectures and counties in the Ryukyu Islands must be nine out of ten stable, by the way, the big island below will also be taken down, and it will be more convenient and better to manage it together, and it will also be possible to ask the Guangzhou Navy, that is, the South China Sea Navy, to cooperate with each other.

The next day, the operation began, and the song was sent back to land by speedboat, and the messenger was sent to Chang'an City for 800 miles to be sent to the emperor for ruling, while Liu Renliang and they slowly returned with the navy, leaving behind 700 naval soldiers and corresponding foster care, and more than 500 homeless singles also had to stay, intending to become the first batch of immigrants to the Ryukyu Islands.

These people were the first pioneers of the Han government in the Central Plains to open up overseas territories.

After the fold was sent back to the land in five days at the fastest speed, it was rushed all the way from Jiangnan to Chang'an City in Guanzhong at the highest speed of 800 miles, which took ten days, and at the same time that Li Ermajesty received the fold, it was the day when the East China Sea Navy landed en masse and the shipwrecked seafarers returned home en masse, and the shore was thunderous with joy to welcome their relatives to finally return safely -- it was right for those bachelors not to come back, otherwise they would have to die of sadness when they saw such a scene.

After Li Ermajesty received the recital from Zhang Liang and Liu Renliang, he immediately convened a court meeting to collectively discuss the feasibility of this recital: "Zhu Qing also knows the ideas of Zhang Aiqing and Liu Aiqing, as well as their ideas, I wonder if Zhu Qing thinks this is feasible?" What do you think of the establishment of prefectures and counties in the Ryukyu Islands and the Liuqiu Islands to consolidate their rule, and then to build them into the overseas territory of the Tang Dynasty, so that they can go to sea to fish with the coastal people and sail across the ocean. ”

Fang Xuanling stood up and said: "Qi Xiang Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is feasible, in recent years, although the imperial court's finances have been greatly affluent, but eighty percent of it has been used for education expenditure and construction expenditure, the construction of water conservancy and city walls in various places has cost a lot, the popularization of education and the consumption of children's lunch is very great, the imperial court actually does not have too much money to improve the livelihood of the people in the Jiangnan area, in the long run, the Jiangnan region will inevitably be dissatisfied, the minister thinks, throttling is important, open source is the top priority."

If it is really as said in the compromise, it can promote the coastal people to go to sea to catch fresh food in the sea for sale, and increase income, then the people's income will increase and their lives will improve, and the taxes of Datang will also increase, and more money can be put into the treasury, continue to enhance national strength, and put it on various expenditures. ”

As soon as Fang Xuanling's words fell, Wei Zheng stood up and mended the knife: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

After Wei Zheng finished mending the knife, Suning also stood up and continued to mend the knife: "The minister seconded the proposal!" ”

Li Er Majesty was depressed, didn't he just want to build his bedroom a little! The hall was repaired, and the surface was shiny, but the emperor's residence was not built, and it was still a little shabby, but as soon as he revealed some ideas to test the tone of these guys, he was stopped by these courtiers jumping out one after another, and mending the knife one after another, as if he had become a public enemy!

Everyone thinks the emperor's bedroom is building it? The emperor should sleep in the palace of his concubines and work hard to create people, what kind of dormitory do he want? It's a little bit to be able to save!

The extremely depressed Li Erma looked at the three pairs of unkind eyes, felt countless unkind eyes, coughed embarrassedly, and had to stifle this thought: "Ahem, I understand, then, let's settle this matter, the Ryukyu Islands and the Liuqiu Island can unite to set up a state, let's call it Haizhou, and then set up some counties, and then there are immigration and garrison matters, you Aiqing can speak freely, and do your best to determine this matter!" ”

Seeing that the emperor dispelled his thoughts, the unkind eyes dispersed one after another, although those speech officials were very unhappy with these high-ranking officials in charge of power, and wanted to impeach all the time, but what happened, the most worthy of their impeachment was the emperor himself, as long as the emperor himself made any mistakes, these speech officials could immediately rush up like flies that saw poop, and bombarded indiscriminately, even if they only had a three-inch tongue, they had to lick back Li Erma's bad thoughts!
